I have been working on my written business English with Zabaan for more than a year now and believe that I have improved my skills a lot. The credit goes to Zabaan and the tailor made classes of my teacher Mr. Saraf. Thanks a lot!

I have been a student at Zabaan for nearly 8 months. Going through a number of their programs has been a fantastic experience and has greatly improved my Hindi. I also must commend their competency demonstrated throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. They have rather effortlessly moved their teaching online in a way which maintains the quality of their education. I have mostly worked with Rachayta while at Zabaan. She has a brilliant ability to recognize common errors I make and identify the appropriate grammatical rules to help me learn from those mistakes. Trained as a linguist, I am also always appreciative of her ability to deconstruct any word and explicate its etymology. This skill makes learning both interesting and clarifying, allowing myself to draw useful connections. Rachayta's sharp ears for pronunciation also enable me to not only be able to understand Hindi, but to be understood when speaking! Zabaan as a whole is a fantastic institution. I am eager to rejoin them in person when possible and am confident that their continued efforts have greatly improved my Hindi. Thanks Zabaan and team, and I highly recommend for all those interested in learning languages!
